| Athlete burnout. Timepoint: before the start of the study, at the end of 12 weeks of intervention and one month after the end of the intervention. Method of measurement: Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ):The ABQ is a validated 15-item instrument developed to quantify athlete burnout syndrome, drawing on the framework established by Raedeke et al. The primary query in this questionnaire is: "How often do you experience these feelings?" Respondents indicate their frequency of occurrence on a five-point Likert scale: "Almost never (1), Rarely (2), Sometimes (3), Often (4), and Almost always (5)." The ABQ evaluates several dimensions of burnout, including: (1) Diminished Sense of Accomplishment(e.g., "It seems that no matter what I do, I do not perform as well as expected"), (2) Diminished Value of Exercise (e.g., "The effort I invest in exercise would be better allocated to other activities"), and (3) Emotional/Physical Exhaustion (e.g., "I am fatigued from the mental and physical demands of my sport").;Mindfulness. Timepoint: before the start of the study, at the end of 12 weeks of intervention and one month after the end of the intervention. Method of measurement: Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS): Developed by Baer et al. (2006), the MAAS is designed to assess various dimensions of mindfulness through 15 items. Responses are scored on a six-point Likert scale ranging from "never or very rarely true" to "always." Scores are aggregated from all 15 items, with a minimum possible score of 15 and a maximum of 90. A score between 15 and 30 indicates low mindfulness, a score between 30 and 60 indicates average mindfulness, and a score above 60 indicates high mindfulness.Five-Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ):The FFMQ is a 39-item self-report scale developed by Baer et al. (2006). It integrates items from various mindfulness questionnaires, including the Freiberg Mindfulness Inventory (FMI), the MAAS, the KIMS, and other related scales. The FFMQ utilizes a fac | — |
